| - | === Major Tom ===
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===FairlyChildish===
| + | |
| - | The adjustable settings on this compressor are
| + | |
| - | Threshold
| + | |
| - | Bias
| + | |
| - | AGC
| + | |
| - | Time constant
| + | |
| - | Level Detector RMS window.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | There are two non-adjustable settings "current comp ratio" and "gain reduction", which move automatically with the program signal.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Here is a rundown of how to use fairlychildish
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''The Bias'''
| + | |
| - | When this is set low and the threshold set to catch peaks, you get fairly hard ratios of 30:1 (give or take) - and as you lower the threshold, the ratios goes up a LOT - to around 300:1 (give or take). The sound of the compression also gets punchier as you lower the threshold in this situation - which is interesting.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | But with the bias set high and the threshold set to just catch the peaks, you get extremely gentle compression, with the ratio fluctuating from around 1.1 to 3:1. As you lower the threshold, the ratio goes up ... to around the 15:1 mark give or take.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''Time constant'''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Time constant affects the attack/release times of the compressor. The original Fairchild hardware had some REALLY short attack times (measured in microseconds), and LOOOONG release times (measured in fractions of a MINUTE). The higher the time constant, the longer the attack and release, generally.
| + | |
| - | On "fairlychildish", this setting at higher levels gives some really nice, smooth results - even on the harder compression settings. It is reminiscent of the waves SSL G-comp in this way.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''AGC'''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | There are two options for this - Lat/Vert and Left/Right. the Lat/Vert setting on the Fairchild was used when cutting actual masters for vinyl. What it does is switch the level detection and compression from normal stereo to L+R and L-R, reconstituting the normal signals after compression. This allows you to separately compress the center signal (typically bass) from the side signals...a form of Mid/Side compression. The reason it was used on vinyl was to keep the grooves from being cut too wide (lateral) or too deep (vertical).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''The level detector rms window slider'''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | When this is set very low, it yields considerably less compression than when it is set high. Setting it high (say, over 1 second) yields a more musical compression while setting it low might work for soft-limiting.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === rbj1073 ===
| + | |
| - | the RGB73 is a great EQ reminiscent of the Hardware 1073 by Neve. The high shelf of this EQ is a frequent go-to option on the hardware 1073. It has a fixed frequency of 12k, but the ''wide Q'' of the slope affects the signal lower down the spectrum.
| + | |
| | | | |
| - | This slope has been emulated beautifully in the JS version of the 1073, which gives anything you run through it a really nice "sheen" due to the broad-spread lift it can generate. It will also really tame the harsh high end of some percussion.

| | | | |
| - | The rbj1073 works quite like the original in that you can crank it right up and still get pleasing tones out of it (if you need it do). Though if the high shelf sounds like it's getting brittle, but you like the smooth top it's giving you, you can try dialing in a few db cut at 3.2k on the mid frequency filter.
| + | [[Main_Page|Main Page]] |
| | | | |
| - | Another trick you can do with the original neve hardware which you can also do on the 1073 fx (!!) is to cut the bottom off with the HP filter and boost at the same time. For example, you can make quite a nice change to the timbre of a bass sound by selecting the low cut filter (say to 50 hz) and boosting the low shelf at 60 hz. You get clean, punchy bass with no unwanted "woof".
